Sometimes you just need a dive bar, and Showdown has nailed it. It’s a wicked basement space underneath The Lockhart in Marylebone. The Recipe? A focus on rye and Bourbon liqueurs with a side of chef Brad McDonald’s Southern food menu. The drinks menu is divided into ‘Sour’, ‘Long’, ‘Strong’, ‘Tap & Bottle, ‘Weird’ and ‘Shooters’ so there’s something for everyone. It’s less ‘dirty south’ and more ‘sophisticated southern’.
